Yordle of the Void?

Random idea I had...

So, we have Kled — a Noxian yordle that has every screw loose there ever was.

I randomly thought it'd be pretty neat if we had a champion that was a yordle that took a wrong turn and ended up in the Void, or maybe they were tired of how overly happy Bandle City was and left to find something new. Maybe the one from the Void (we'll say Vel'Koz in this case) found the yordle to be particularly interesting because Vel knew the yordle's full knowledge couldn't be fully conveyed through dissection, so he showed him mercy and didn't dissect him for anatomical studying. Rather, maybe the yordle willingly or not-so-willingly stayed in the Void under Vel's direction. Perhaps Vel teaches the yordle his ways, and eventually, the Void mostly overcomes the yordle. But the yordle originally from Bandle City still has SOME aspects from home about him, and he will always remember his long lost friends he left behind.

Other random idea: Branching off of someone's post suggesting Lulu ventured off into the Void at one point... Perhaps Lulu was this yordle's best friend, and when the rogue yordle decided he had enough of Bandle City, she went to find him soon after. Maybe Lulu uses the polymorph spell on the Void-turned yordle, attempting to turn him back into the friend she knew and loved, but it wasn't enough because the yordle had his eyes opened and focused on the Void, which is where Lulu's famous line, "You can see more with your eyes closed, cones in. She's telling him to close his eyes and remember who he really is.

As much as I like happy endings, this story would perhaps require there to always be a ledge in order to be most effective — meaning the yordle has been overcome by the Void, yet there is a hope because he remembers special aspects of his real home (mainly his friend(s), like Lulu).

Other note: The yordle could be a boy or girl. Doesn't matter to me. Though, I think we could use more girl yordles.

Anyways, I'll continue spitballing ideas and post them here.

Let me know what y'all think.

And he can be called the Voidle of the Yord, Destroyer of Reasonably Sized Cities!

Yordles are manifestations of concepts in the world. This manifestation may not hold it's form if it exits the plane of existence, i.e. leaves this plane and enters the place between planes of existence - the Void. The Void is pretty much nothing but manifestations of chaos, hunger, and destruction already, so I doubt there could exist a Yordle that encompasses the concepts there better than Cho'Gath, Vel'Koz, or Kog'Maw.

Ya never know. Sometimes fancy backstories are made to make exceptions. Maybe this yordle is a bit, shall I say...different.

How about malzahaar, varus and kassidin. There all humans transformed by the void.

Wait, Yordles are manifestations of concepts. Chaos is a concept. The Void is the embodiment of that chaos. By your own logic, there is a Yordle behind the whole concept of The Void. In essence, this Yordle IS the void.

Yordles are Runeterra's manifestations of concepts, but that doesn't mean that every plane of existence, or the space in between, will manifest it's concepts as ewoks. Clearly, this is NOT the case for the Void, as it manifests it's concepts via Cthullu Mutants like Vel'Koz and Kog'Maw.

Well, under that point: Yordles have different forms and appearances. The void is completely about consuming, while different champions represent this concept in different ways.

Khazix Hunger for development/change Chogath Hunger for destruction KogMaw Literal hunger (wants to devour everything) Velkoz Hunger for knowledge

That could actually mean that the void creatures are for the void, what yordles are for runeterra. Representing concepts of their own world.

The only odd one here is: RekSai She doesn't speak so we don't really have a concept for her motives. So what kind of hunger could she represent which is not already represented by another void creature.....

In Taliyah's lore there's a story about how Rek'Sai tracks&eats people that cross a certain part of the desert. So it could have something to do with that(eating flesh, defending her territory, etc..)

This is true.

Why not have the yordle rule the void? It could be so transfigured that it could look like a fulkl blown void monster to anyone who sees it since they are basically always in disguise.

It's an oxymoron. Yordles come from Bandle City, and he wouldn't really be "of the void" unless he's actually from the void.

Or have a velkoz/yordle hybrid child....... that works right?

We already have a non-Voidcreature that stepped into the void(Malzahar), plus a Yordle that stepped into another dimension(Lulu in the Glade). If they make another void-champ I would rather see something unique/weird like all true void-champions are.

I had an idea a while back of a Void parasite that attaches itself to allied champions on occasion and when not on an ally he would have a brain-drained Yordle host to crawl back too.

He would be a support that had a charm along the lines of Taric's Dazzle
